@R/GA1 yeah, tell me about it, lately I've gotten into the (bad) habit of chain smoking to prolong these breaks, logically I know I can just get up from my desk and step outside without smoking but also there's something freeing about the thought of "I can't go back up to my desk until I'm done smoking" which turns into "I'm almost done with this one.... so I guess I'll light another"

Anyway - sorry for getting off topic, OP - get out while you still can. Or I guess you could always just take up smoking.

Then you should leave asap. Not saying it's easy but sometimes questioning the obvious is just wasting time and the focus should be on the solution. It's either flight or fight, pick the right one and hope for the best.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?
